Central Dogma

The process by which the genetic code of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA is called

• translation
• transcription
• transformation
• replication

Which of the following describes RNA?

• RNA is usually double-stranded and contains the base thymine
• RNA is usually single-stranded and contains the base uracil
• RNA is longer than DNA and uses five bases to encode information
• RNA is made in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and stays there to carry out its functions

Where does TRANSCRIPTION occur?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

Which of the following sequences of processes correctly reflects the central dogma?

• protein synthesis, transcription, translation
• protein synthesis, translation, transcription
• transcription, translation, protein synthesis
• translation, transcription, protein synthesis

Translation occurs in the

• nucleus
• mitochondria
• cytoplasm
• golgi apparatus

The "central dogma" states that genetic information flows from 

• Protein-->mRNA-->DNA
• Protein-->DNA-->mRNA
• mRNA-->DNA-->Protein
• DNA-->mRNA-->Protein
